Seems it happened pretty darned close in Hangzhou. So for those who have let their guard down be REALLY careful.</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/05/16/be_aware_of_fak.php#comment-205618 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/05/16/be_aware_of_fak.php#comment-205618 Comments Tue, 16 May 2006 14:47:37 +0800 <p>we should inform our girlfriends then :-) </p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/05/16/be_aware_of_fak.php#comment-205617 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/05/16/be_aware_of_fak.php#comment-205617 Comments Tue, 16 May 2006 13:22:07 +0800 <p>This is not exactly new - and is actually extremely uncommon (but it does happen).
